Grand Jury Indicts Amy Baker In Marcus Fiesel Case

Baker Accused Of Helping Dispose Of Remains

Amy Baker has been indicted by a grand jury in connection with the disposal of Marcus Fiesel's body.

The grand jury met last week to discuss her case after she was arrested in April. On Friday, it was announced that the grand jury indicted Baker on a felony charge of tampering with a corpse.

Baker pleaded guilty Friday afternoon at her arraignment and her bond remained set at $50,000.

She remains free on bond posted last month by relatives, and her next court date is set for Sept. 14.

A trial date was tentatively set for Nov. 7 and 8, officials said.

Baker's involvement in the dumping of the foster child's burned remains came up during her testimony in foster mother Liz Carroll's murder trial, when Baker said that she and David Carroll dropped the remains in the Ohio River from a bridge across from Maysville, Ky.

Since the bridge is located in Kentucky, the Mason County prosecutor filed charges against her.

The grand jury also indicted David Carroll on the same charge.

Baker's testimony is not likely to be used in the trial, because of her Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination, but Carroll has said he would testify against her.

Hillary Clinton's office said "nothing nefarious was at play" when the former secretary of state used her personal email address, rather than one provided by the State Department, during her four years as America's top diplomat.
